EDGES OF A WIRED NATION

Questions of privacy, borders, and nationhood are increasingly shaping the
way we think about all things digital. Data Centers brings together essays
and photographic documentation that analyze recent and ongoing develop-
ments. Taking Switzerland as an example, the book takes a look at the country’s
data centers, law firms, corporations, and government institutions that are
involved in the creation, maintenance, and regulation of digital infrastructures.
Beneath the official storyline—Switzerland’s moderate climate, political
stability, and relatively clean energy mix—the book uncovers a much more
varied and sometimes contradictory set of narratives.
